Repeat Captures in Piking

Many of us study the markings on the body and fins of pike so we can recognise repeat captures. Above is a re-capture for sure of a green curtain on the Bridgewater Canal in Salford. Originally caught in 2007 by Stu 'womble' Maddocks who claimed it was his PB for a curtain. Last week the lovely Melissa of Contact Tackle in Blacon re-captured this specimen item of habidashery at a reduced weight; curtains sadly tend not to gain weight in the Bridgey. chuckle! I have included a foto of the original capture for comparison

About Me

I am completely obsessed with Esox Lucius and have run this small predator group for 9 years now with the help of Steve 'Gulper' Lewis. I fish with like minded Pike fanatics and between us we have landed some superb fish; many over 30lbs but we have enjoyed lots of fun along the way.
